“He injured someone, and it’s naturally our duty to handle it. When did it become your place to handle it yourself?”
“Originally, we only needed to deal with him, but now the nature of this matter has changed. You have to come back to the police station with us for an investigation!”
Cheng Wanyun continued.
“I don’t have time right now. I need to take my wife to the hospital!”
Lu Yang directly refused.
“Fine. After you send her to the hospital, you must return to the police station with us!”
Cheng Wanyun continued.
As they spoke, the ambulance arrived. Soon, two doctors came down from the ambulance and lifted Tang Shimin onto it.
Just as Lu Yang was about to get on and go to the hospital with Tang Shimin, Li Xiumei suddenly appeared and pulled him back.
“You useless good-for-nothing, get out of my way! I’ll go myself!”
“If you hadn’t been absent, Shimin wouldn’t have gotten into trouble. You’re a jinx!”
Li Xiumei cursed loudly at Lu Yang, then got into the ambulance and headed to the hospital with them.
Lu Yang watched the ambulance leave and immediately got on his electric scooter, heading towards the hospital. Cheng Wanyun instructed her two subordinates to take the drunk driver for a statement, while she drove her car, following Lu Yang at a leisurely pace.
“Records department?”
“Help me investigate a person named Lu Yang. He’s the live-in son-in-law of the Tang family in Jiangbei City. I want all his information!”
Cheng Wanyun made a phone call, her interest in Lu Yang’s identity having been piqued.
She had just examined the drunk driver’s injuries – all four limbs were broken. His methods were extraordinary, and a normal person wouldn’t possess such strength unless they were a martial artist.
So the question arose: if a martial artist possessed such skills, why would he become a live-in son-in-law in the Tang family and be considered a good-for-nothing by the entire Jiangbei City?
Thinking this, Cheng Wanyun unknowingly followed Lu Yang to the hospital.
Lu Yang rushed directly to the operating room. Standing at the entrance, he saw Li Xiumei looking anxious.
“Mom, how is Shimin?”
Lu Yang asked Li Xiumei.
“How is she? How dare you ask me? If it weren’t for you, would Shimin be in this state?”
The moment Li Xiumei saw Lu Yang, her anger flared, and she immediately cursed at him.
“Stop arguing. The patient is in critical condition and needs to pay first. The surgery fee is two hundred thousand. Hurry up and pay!”
At this moment, the operating room door opened, and a nurse walked out with a form, speaking to Lu Yang and Li Xiumei.
Upon hearing that she needed to pay two hundred thousand for the surgery, Li Xiumei immediately took a few steps back and declared, “I have no money!”
Her words caused Lu Yang’s expression to change instantly. Li Xiumei was Tang Shimin’s own mother, and at this crucial moment, she claimed to have no money!
A few days ago, Tang Shimin had brought back the contract from Haitong Group, and Tang Yuan had rewarded her with one million yuan, all of which had fallen into Li Xiumei’s pockets. Yet now, Li Xiumei refused to part with a single cent.
“I’ll pay!”
Lu Yang didn’t waste any words. He took the form and went to the payment counter, paying the full two hundred thousand yuan for the surgery.
When he returned, Li Xiumei immediately blocked his path and questioned, “You good-for-nothing, where did you get so much money?”
“Last time I found out you had thirty thousand, and now you have another two hundred thousand. How much more money are you hiding?”
Li Xiumei was actually eyeing Lu Yang’s money.
Her daughter was in the hospital, her life hanging in the balance, and Li Xiumei was still thinking about money. Such a mother made Lu Yang shake his head. He truly wished Tang Shimin didn’t have a mother like this.
“You useless good-for-nothing, why are you shaking your head? Hurry up and hand over the money!”
Li Xiumei shouted coldly.
“This is all I have. I paid for the surgery, and now I have no money!”
Lu Yang stated directly.
“Hmph, you better not have any more, or if I find out, I will absolutely not let you off!”
Li Xiumei snarled fiercely again.
Cheng Wanyun, standing nearby, witnessed this entire scene clearly, her brow furrowing.
A few days ago, at the Lu family villa, Cheng Wanyun had personally seen Lu Yang with three million yuan. This indicated that Lu Yang was by no means as he appeared on the surface, but rather a hidden master. Yet now, he was being bossed around by his cheap mother-in-law, which only deepened Cheng Wanyun’s suspicion.
Just then, a doctor ran out, sweating profusely, and said to Li Xiumei and Lu Yang, “The patient’s condition is too critical. Our hospital cannot provide treatment. We recommend transferring her to another hospital.”
“What? Transferring?”
“Transferring her at this time is a death sentence!”
“It’s more than two hundred kilometers from Jiangbei City to Yanjing. My daughter’s current physical condition cannot withstand it!”
Li Xiumei immediately yelled.
“We are truly sorry. The patient’s ribs are broken, and bone fragments have entered her lungs. One more step, and they will pierce her entire lung. Our hospital does not have such advanced methods or technology, and no one is willing to perform this surgery!”
The doctor said anxiously.
“What? Such a large hospital like yours can’t even perform one surgery, yet you asked me to pay two hundred thousand for the surgical fee? I’m going to sue you for delaying treatment! If anything happens to my daughter, I won’t let you off!”
Li Xiumei wailed incessantly, her voice echoing throughout the corridor.
“What’s going on?”
At this moment, several doctors in white coats approached. Hearing Li Xiumei’s loud shouting, they asked in a stern tone.
“Dean, our hospital cannot perform this surgery. We can only transfer the patient, but the patient’s family doesn’t understand and insists on causing trouble here!”
The doctor quickly looked at an elder walking in the middle and said.
“Cannot perform?”
“Let Elder Meng take a look!”
The dean frowned and then looked at the old man beside him.
This elder had a beard and an aura of scholarly detachment.
“Elder Meng?”
Upon hearing the dean’s words, the doctor quickly looked at the old man next to him and immediately recognized him. This Elder Meng was none other than the president of the Jiangbei City Chinese Medicine Association, Elder Meng Hongda!
Meng Hongda’s skills were second to none in Jiangbei City, recognized as a “Sai Hua Tuo” (a legendary divine doctor), his medical skills were incredibly profound. It was said that as long as there was still a breath of life, he could pull someone back from the brink of death.
As long as Meng Hongda took action, the patient could still be saved.
With this thought, the doctor’s heart was immediately filled with joy. He respectfully looked at Meng Hongda and said, “Please, Elder Meng, take action!”
“Mm, I’ll go take a look first!”
Meng Hongda nodded, put on a white coat, and walked into the operating room.
Only a few minutes later, Meng Hongda walked out with a look of helplessness.
